A/N: Yay! You guys are great!

Chapter 4: No escape

"NO!" Zira yelled dragging her claws against the bones of the elephant that made a loud screeching sound making Nuka cringe. "My two sons are gone!"

Nuka smiled shyly walking up to his mother his head low, "I`m still here mother." He said looking into his mother`s eyes hopeing to see any hint of love or even a sign she calmed down but nothing. Zira turned around hand headed for scar`s den, but before she was out of ear shot he could he her say, "You are not enough."

Nuka lowered his head again walking away from the angry crowd about Jabari`s capture. It hurt that his own mother treated Scar`s son better than him. They weren't even related! Nuka never got the attention that Jabari or Kovu did. He was just a bit older that Jabari and was here when Scar brought the little hair ball home. Scar had said that Jabari`s mother had died after he was born and that left Scar to take him home the savage lands. From then on it was Jabari this, and Jabari that, he was destined to be king since the second he said his first words!

Then just when the news about Scar`s son had just barely gone down…Kovu was born.

"It should have been me, I should have been chosen, if only that would just give me a chance!" he spat, digging his claws into the sticks under him.

"Your still not going on about that are you?"

Nuka jumped in surprise at the new voice but quickly realized it was his sister, Vitani.

"I have no idea what you mean!" he yelled at her, standing back up and lifting his head high.

Vitani rolled her eyes, "Sure, now can we get going?" his sister walked to the top of the dirt dry hill but stopped and looked at him, "Unless you want to cry some more?" she insisted.

"What are we doing?" he asked tilting his head to the side.

"We have to watch Kovu." She said as Nuka trotted up to her, tripping over his paws a few time before he reached her.

Jabari dug his claws into the vines that held him prisoner but they wouldn't budge and he let out a frustrated growl. Great he was captured. The bump on his head still hurt but it would heal with time, he was unharmed as for small scratches on his left leg from where Simba threw him into the water. Otherwise he was unharmed…not yet any way.

On one side of the cave a small pile of food lay and next to it an even smaller puddle of water. He let of a small huff. If they thought he was going to eat anything they gave him they were out of their minds.

Jabari laid his head on his front paws letting the calm air sooth his head, but the gentle dripping of water, and the light voices outside along with and annoying scratching sound in the was made that impossible. He had to get home! Home to his father , it was hard to know if the Pride landers had found out who he was but if they did he would be executed for just being Scar`s son.

Pebbles rustled down the side of the grey walls and Jabari lifted his head. Only when more fell by his feet did he get up, Jabari walked over to the wall but stopped when the vine began to tug on his heel. He had to wait until a small opening in the side of the wall was made and another lion just barely squeezed through.

"Kovu?" Jabari asked, he was a bit surprised to see he best friend in the pride lands but then he remembered the mission.

Kovu shook his head, "You're the biggest idiot I have ever met! I mean you beat Nuka." He stated looking around at the surroundings.

"I`m glad you think so!" he said unable to hold back a growl, "Now can we go?"

Kovu sat down shaking his head sadly, "I can't S-Simba still doesn't trust me and he`ll know it was me."

Jabari gritted his teeth and dug his claws into the ground, great he was stuck here.

"At least they won't neglect you." Kovu said shrugging his shoulder to the food and water.

"They're going to kill me Kovu I know it! I`m going to d-" he stopped talking as he heard voices getting closer. "Go, now!" he whispered. Kovu seemed to hear what he was talking about and slid back through the hole. Jabari just had time to hide the hole with a few rocks before another lion came into the cave.

Jabari didn't turn to look at the lioness that came in, he could tell by the scent that this was the same one he had fought earlier.

"J-Jabari?" she whispered, there was something in her voice that he couldn't place but he didn't even try. He looked over his shoulder his ears pulled back. " So you figured out who I was already?" he snapped. Nala nodded a smile on her face. She walked over to him. "I knew you were alive!"

She got ready to rub her muzzle against his, like a mother would with her cub but he pulled away growling, "What are you doing?" he hissed.

She looked taken aback for a moment then, "Jabari, I`m your mother."
